Blue Goes Green Website consistently provides updates for events promoting sustainability on campus, such as Eco-Week which took place October 25-29, and is a way for students to see what other campus organizations are promoting sustainability. Examples would be Sodexo, the bookstore, and student government.
Eco-Week helped promote sustainability at OCU by bringing in guest speaker Autumn Radle, director of Oklahoma City Office of Sustainability, who spoke on new programs and developments in the metropolitan area in regards to sustainability. Also, promotional films such as Home and Kilowatt Ours were shown and a competition called “Eco-Olympics” took place between residence halls.
